Angie Manning, daughter of Jamie and Susan Manning, is currently performing in a leading role at Hershey Park, Pa., this summer from May 31-Sept. 1.

The show is titled "Livewire!" a new show for Hershey Park’s summer 2014. The Hershey Park site describes the show as "This electrifying new song-and-dance show celebrates the connection between music, technology, and you!"

Manning auditioned in February at Matt Davenport Productions, who have produced shows in many theme parks throughout the country such as Hershey Park, Dollywood and Busch Gardens in Tampa, Fla. She was chosen to play the part of "Digi" next to her leading man, Erik Christensen (a graduate of Belmont University) from many applicants around the country.

The two perform a 30-minute show four times daily alongside six dancers and two lead guitar players who set the stage for such songs as "Light My Fire," "The Electric Slide" and "Roll Over Beethoven." The show is performed at The Chevrolet Music Box Theater in the park.

Manning recently completed her first year at Columbia State Community College in Franklin, where she is currently enrolled in the Commercial Entertainment Program. She is a 2013 graduate of Columbia Central High School.
